has anyone played poker for euro's at the same level as dollars....and if so does it seem to be the same skill level? for example...do you think $25 nl on crypto or whatever site would be the same skill level at 25pounds nl?? I am asking because if they are the same level and you are a winning player at $25...then it would make more sense to play for pounds because a pound is worth almost twice as much as a dollar. any one have experience here???

I play £25NL and occasionally $25NL at Crypto. I believe that there is a discernible difference in quality, but not one that compares to the difference in the exchange rate (currently about $1.90 to the £).
So, if you're a winning player at $25, you should be able to win at £25, but it's worth seeing it as a genuine move up and use the necessary caution. At Crypto I also play $50 and I would say it is a step up again in terms of skill, even if financially it'as only slightly above £25.
The other consideration is that Crypto annoyingly gives the same number of player points at $25 as at £25! So if you're clearing a bonus, playing the $25 tables is probably the wisest move.

thanks for the reply...i am playing right now and it seems pretty decent i think i can do well with this. i think the rake is not different ...it is the same percentage of the pot...so only more considering that the money is worth more.
i was also wondering...how does playing for euro's or pounds or whatever effect you if you have rake back? you should essentially be getting more rake back but i am just not sure about how the whole currency exchange works. thanks again for the reply.

If your playing £25nl you should be playing $50nl, not $25nl - basic br manageent.
I would assume that £25nl tables will be slightly easier than $50nl tables, due to the on screen value (not that theres much difference between the micro stakes anyway).

for the life of me i can't figure out what is basic about playing at a harder game for the same value buy-in.

basic bankroll management.. just play where your br allows.. eg if you can play £25nl you dont need to be playing $25nl but can move up to $50nl.

if 25 pounds is basically equall to a 50 dollar buy in, and if a 25 pound game is easier to beat than a $50 game...what is so basic and obvious that i would play at $50 instead of 25 pounds? i really don't understand what point you are trying to make.

here is the simple answer - If you are a WINNING player, than playing for pounds would be better...Big $$ diff. between Pounds and Euro's though (sorry, american keyboard, no lbs or euro marks)
